Chapter 1

When your father was a famous, renowned worldwide scientist and inventor, it gave you a lot of advantages, most notably having new, highly advanced technology at your disposal. A teenager named Dib had such advantage right now. He had the house to himself. His sister Gaz, a handheld console addict and hardcore gamer, had gone to a gaming convention for the weekend, and his father, Professor Membrane, was rarely home, so he could use his equipment as much as he pleased and not get scolded for it.

He was currently working on a device that would de-age any organic substance. It would be useful in the restoration of old, stale and over ripened food. Perhaps his dad would use it to make his Super Toast last even longer and solve world hunger. He would praise him for such an invention. Yeah, that would be nice. Those were Dib’s thoughts while he worked. It was a small machine, no bigger than a cellphone, so it would fit comfortably in the palm of the hand. It would work by sending energy waves toward the substance you wanted to de-age. That is, if he managed to get it working correctly. He didn’t know what was wrong, he had tested it after he had finished building it, and it worked fine. For a couple of seconds at least. After that, it wouldn’t turn back on.

So he was right back to where he started, tinkering with it and making adjustments. He gave a small cheer after the device turned on successfully the second try. He wasn’t prepared for what came next. The little machine suddenly started to give off smoke and small sparks, until it eventually exploded. It flashed out a giant energy wave that covered Dib’s entire room, lighting it up in blue. The destroyed device crashed to the floor and the only noise heard in the silent house was a pitiful whimper.
Well, this is the second fanfic I've uploaded here, I started writing it a month ago. I had thought about this story years ago, but I had never really worked on it until I saw this picture by EmyBunnyPoison ---> www.deviantart.com/art/Found-S… Thank you for reminding me of it :aww: It had been on the back burner for too long.

This chapter is way too short, I know ^^; The second one is longer (actually I'm starting to think that I might have to split it into two parts), this chapter is only a brief introduction so that you guys may understand what's going on :) Still, don't hesitate to ask if you have a question. They are all in Hi-Skool, in junior year to be more specific, so expect teenage shenanigans :XD:
Character descriptions so that it'll be easier to visualize:
Dib, before the incident, was 5'9, his hair scythe was a little longer like in the show, and had traded his long trench coat for a lighter black leather jacket. As an infant: younger than 1 year, about 6-7 months, he doesn't know he's supposed to be a teenager, so whenever he starts crying it's just normal baby needs, it's not a teenage mind trapped in baby's body kind of thing, just throwing that out there ;)
Zim managed to grow up to 5'0 (which coincidentally is MY height :D), and since he saw that when humans grew their clothes and hair changed too, he decided to have an update. He has a more modern hairstyle, and wears a hoodie sweater and skinny jeans.

Oh, and the whole de-aging machine idea came from a quite popular show in the 80s/90s who has made an impressive comeback last year. The first person who guesses right will win a traditional drawing ;)

That's all for now, comment, fave and leave critics to help improve my writing, they are all appreciated :)
